Accademia open till 10pm on Tuesdays starting June 5th? True?

I've been exploring our options for going to the Accadmia in Florence and every guide book I have looked at shows the museum closing much earlier than the website shows. The website: http://www.firenzemusei.it/# shows they stay open till 10pm on Tuesdays starting June 5th. Does anyone have any experience with this? Just want to make sure I am not misreading something before I purchase our tickets online. I would love to go when the crowds are lower and going late on a Tuesday sounds like a great option if it's really possible they stay open that late.

I'm seeing this on Accademia.org as well:

This is not the official website for the museum but the news bit was was posted by Lourdes Flores, and she's a pretty good authority on all things Firenze as editor-in-chief of "Discover Tuscany":

If in further doubt, drop a line on the D.T. Florence forum?
